What I Wore: Saturday Lunch

This afternoon, I went to Rock Lobster in Dundrum Town Centre for lunch with one of my favourite boys! Rock Lobster is so nice, and we've been wanting to try it for a couple of weeks now! He went for the Moules et Frites and I went for the Burger. Both were absolutely delicious and we left very full! We then wander off and fit in a Butler's Hot chocolate, and relaxed for a bit until he had to go to work. I woke up a little bit later than I wanted so I was in a rush to pick out an outfit to wear. I put on tights, but then realised they'd the ribbon garter pattern,so I decided to add a plain black dress to it!

As Rock Lobster is in Harvey Nichols, I wanted to go a bit more dressy! A good friend, got me this wrap two years ago for my birthday, and I love it so much. It was the perfect occasion to bring it out. It keeps me nice and warm and works really well with the rest of the outfit! It's a lot warmer than it looks, so I just wore it instead of a jacket. We did drive down though, so I haven't lost the plot too much. I do think though the weather is getting slightly milder. I'm so sick of wearing a million and one layers, and can't wait to crack out my spring wardrobe.

I decided to wear my much loved Louis Vuitton speedy 35. I was kindly gifted this from my parents for my 21st Birthday. Dublin were sold out of it, at the time, so I had to wait until I went to London the week after to buy it! I absolutely love it, and it's worn really well. I know the handles darken, but I love that about these bags. In a couple of years time, I will probably get the handles changed. Although for now I think it still loves lovely. I love the Speedy 35. I have the 30 in another print, but I only really keep that for nights out, as I find it a little too small for during the day! I think that's just me though, as I like to carry everything I own in my handbags!

To complete the look I wore a statement chunky necklace that I've had for absolutely donkey's years, and nearly think I bought it the same London trip! It's layered chains, with a nice ribbon tie, so you can alter it to however high, or low you want to go! Over all it's a really outfit to put together and takes no time. I love how easy it is to dress up a plain black dress. I've had this dress for (again) years. It's got 3/4 length sleeves and is a skater style. I've also got it in cream. It's an incredibly versatile dress and my only regret is not buying two black! H&M always have something similar, so next time I'm in town (after Frugal February) I'll have a look!
